      A very fair point. I was too focused there on the point I was making. This said, my statement "Quantum computing makes use of two key quantum phenomenon known as superposition and entanglement" does not actually preclude other key/main phenomenon! :)

U can tell from the 'exponential savings' style Ultra HD style file size savings & 'jaggy soap opera effect halos' all they R doing is cutting the frame rate & then jacking it back up faking the in between frames, & reducing the frame size above around 1080p because they had the sense 2 admit human eyes can't tell the difference beyond even less than a real 1080p =)) I've found in my tests the best look is at around 1100 pixels wide for motion video (not necessarily 'reading small text') = higher tends 2 look more fake, & less a little blurry. Still iDownload stuff in 4K because UA-cam's resolutions R all fake, & iKnow this because my monitor is around 720p & iCan tell the difference big time between their fake 1080p & fake 4K & so on. Repeating pixels with 'blockies' & noise is not 'detail'. That's just WA$ING even MORE space on 'addressing overhead'.
      I should post some pages about this $cam = 'Compre$$ion$cam'? =)) iHad a bit up B 4 on a free site host but it has since 'disappeared' (but iHav backup copies). iPut this up way back B 4 they even had even 'vp' whatever on UA-cam, like VP8 4 example. About 10 years ago or so UA-cam drastically reduced the quality of all their videos, crushing them 2 $hit, but after they came out with VP9 they're closer 2 wat we had back in their MP4 daze =) Their H.264 now LQQX $hit tho =( It's silly 2 hav 2 download an over 300 megabyte 'so-called 4K' video just 2 get the same quality we could have at around 200 megabytes on 1080p back when they were not fuking everything up overly-compressing everything. It's a lot of wasted data on 'address locations' now, 4 repeated bull$hit noise & duplication pixels = DUM! But long story short, download stuff in VP9 always at the highest resolution because the others on UA-cam are much worse. Their '4K' is about like Blu-ray 1080p, & their '1080p' is about like typical dual-layer (7GB or so) DVD 480p =/

    I study information technology in university. When students get close to graduating they're tasked with what's known as a "capstone project" where we're supposed to give an idea of something we can document and go using what we learned as students.

I we have to do the piches in front of our professors and well 3/4 had my support but this one fellow...

    Thank you for the update. I've been on the subject for years and have studied as far as knowledge is available. The superposition is a bit of a definition matter. It doesn't actually mean that a particle can have two states simultaneously. It merely means that the moment the position is being measured, the state has changed to an unknown due to extreme speeds and unpredictable quantum dynamics. The problem with Qubits is devising dependable and viable means of chance calculation with the lowest error rate possible. Entanglement is well explained here. Long distance communication by this phenomena is opening a box of pandore but the potential is off the scale. Thanks for the update.

    For practical applications, quantum computers have solved pathing problems. In one case, 90% of a new circuit was discarded due to observable quantum effect supplanting the need for most of the circuit's logic. The other case was fuel transportation paths. In this case, a quantum computer increased the path-efficiency by 45%. It was earlier attempted with classical algorithms with no solution reached.

    quantumstability at room temperature(and far above) now also is a thing.
    even though that speciffic tech is designed and tested(as in confirmed working reliably in pretty much any normal circumstances without needing something to clean the signal or stabilize it) for quantum actuation instead of quantum computing.
    as the device from which the very first prototype made the same morning the effect as discovered/come up with, using materials just laying around actually directly worked, this should suggest how stable it is and how easy to make it once you know how it works.
    the researcher/innovator however mostly focussed on the effect behind it, but the device itself is essentially a quantum programmer.
    which is in simple words a device which can create stable or semi stable quantum effects in normal materials with ease and also easily alter them. so controlled programmable quantum effects.
    which allows to quite litterally program and controll physics themselves, ofcource rigth now it is mostly just done for certain quantum effects which normally only happen in special materials around the absolute 0 point, but once in the hand of random hackers and other forms of hobbyists and developers people can make way more effects with it based on this tech and the simple principle behind it.
    in normal materials like mercury, aluminium, wood(living), and also the same silicone wafers used for chip making.
    as in that on it's very first day it was already possibly to mass produce it using standard production processes(technically seen as there was no direct layout design for such mashines to use, but that is very easy compared to even super simple chip designs.
    these could then both hold the hardware to program it as well as the materials being programmed.
    I originally designed this device to test amplifying certain measurement methods, as well as to simulate certain quantum effects which normally only happen at insanely cold temperatures, but got it working without any funding and without any proper materials, just some electronics thigns I just had laying around, a arduino uno to power it and controll it combined with a small physical setup. and having many scrapped parts from old electronics devices many of which might be damaged or broken, and cheap parts which probably are ripoffs or failed items with terrible quality compared to the real deal.
    one of the existing quantum technologies listed in the video seems to be close to it in some ways of it's base working from what I got when rapidly looking up it's working.
    even though I ofcource only rapidly looked it up, and also from that it still has notable differences, since the most easy way to describe how the quantum programmer works is by creating some kind of gohst matter, or quantum mater, which is kind of like a new form of virtual matter which can overlay and exist in or move through normal physical matter, essentially it is quantum matter, which only really exists in the "quantum realm"(note that this is heavily oversimplified, you can also find and detect it normally with the right hardware, but then it won't be a material, since the reason it forms that material like state is because essentially it programs things in other dimensions like the Time dimension as well as things which most people would not even see like a realm or dimension but this tech can treat them as such, hard to explain without telling exactly how it works, since the base working is very simple and logic since it is actually the same way normal physics effects and mater are formed.
    how modular it is is fascinating however, since it kind of is like wizard magic but then technological, entire new areas which where never even concidered now opening up to potentially actually be very easy and cheap.
    also controllable quantum effects means that unlike traditional quantum effects which stay static when on and don't work when off, these effects can be programmed and can change shape or change their effect or power.
    it is truly fun.
    sadly not really any interest from groups who have the capacity to properly publish it and help protect it against patent trolls and such.
    also ofcource since this is one of those things where despite it already working many people would still doubt it working and also can't see the potential, for that it would require disclosing how exactly it works, which is very risky in this field since if you are a small hobbyist who isn't rich or famous, in that field over 99% of the time some random other person will just copy it and run away with it.

    Greetings Mr Barnatt.
    Nice of you for dropping this quantum computing update video. It appears that IBM is likely a player that's making any headway in utilising the quantum technologies. China and likes might have jumped the bandwagon enthusiastically, but they're suffering from the lack of problems to solve. Reasoning why the Chinese have stuttered in their run this year. Let's see how this year unfolds in the application aspect.

    Quantum computers utilize "qubits," which harness the properties of particles such as "spin." Electrons, as quantum objects, exist in an unpredictable superposition state, typically observed as "up" and "down" due to the Stern-Gerlach experiment. In this superposition, an electron's state vector can point in any direction simultaneously, representing an infinite number of states between "up" and "down." Despite the mathematical differences between negative and positive states in quantum mechanics, they are physically identical and experimentally indistinguishable. Quantum computers exploit this superposition property to perform immense computations instantaneously.

      I’ll pull a Cunningham’s law and practice: They’re quite good at generating numbers simultaneously. It can be used for password cracking. If there’s a 2 bit computer, there are 4 states 2^2. 32 bits, is 2^32, is 4.3 billion possible states. A perfectly stable quantum computer only needs 32 qubits to generate 4.3 billion possible combinations at the same time. They’re also incredibly good at large prime factorization. This can do some fancy stuff like being faster than Shor’s algorithm. That allows it to crack asymmetric cryptography in a realistically short time.
      You can also see that their power increases exponentially with qubits instead of linearly with transistors.
